A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 92.0 km/h to 54.0 km/h in the 16.0 s that it takes to round

the bend. The radius of the curve is 130 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 54.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.

Calculation of centripetal acceleration(ac):

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

we can change our speed in terms of m/s

v=54km/h=54*\frac{1000}{3600} m/s

now, we can plug these values

a_c=\frac{(54*\frac{1000}{3600})^2}{130}

a_c=1.73077m/s^2

Calculation of tangential acceleration(at):

a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

now, we can plug values

a_t=\frac{(54-92)*\frac{1000}{3600} }{16}

now, we can simplify it

a_t=-0.65972 m/s^2

Calculation of resultant acceleration:

a=\sqrt{(a_c)^2+(a_t)^2}

now, we can plug values

a=\sqrt{(1.73077)^2+(-0.65972)^2}

a=1.85224m/s^2.............Answer

How do I solve this?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Try using estimation.

Make sure you don't start with the y-axis first.

I don't think they really want an exact answer though. You could try using a ruler if there's one on your phone but I still think estimation is okay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look how close the point is to 1 on the x-axis and how close it is to 2 on the x-axis then chose what you think fits.

Answer:

The inequality that represents the fruit sales is s > 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s the fruits sales of Jimmy, measured in dollars. Given that he needs to selle more than $ 250 of fruit at his produce stands in order to make the profit, he needs to satisfy the following inequation or inequality:

s > 250

In ΔPQR,
irina1246 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that, the angle QRS is external to the triangle and adjacent to the angle PRQ. According to the theorem of a external/adjacent angle, we have: m∠QRS = m∠PQR + m∠RPQ, where PQR and RPQ are internal angles.

From the hypothesis, we have:

m∠QRS =(10x−12)∘(10x−12)

m∠PQR = (3x+20)∘(3x+20)

m∠RPQ=(3x−8)∘(3x−8)

Using the first equation and replacing the hypothesis:

m∠QRS = m∠PQR + m∠RPQ

(10x−12)∘(10x−12) = (3x+20)∘(3x+20) + (3x−8)∘(3x−8)

Multiplying and applying the remarkable identity:

(10x - 12)^{2}  = (3x+20)^{2}  + (3x - 8)^{2} \\(10x)^{2} - 2(10x)(12) + (12)^{2} = (3x)^{2} + 2(3x)(20) + (20)^{2} + (3x)^{2} - 2(3x)(8) + (8)^{2} \\100x^{2} -240x+144=9x^{2} +120x+400 + 9x^{2} -48x+64\\100x^{2} -240x+144-18x^{2} -72x-464=0\\82x^{2} -312x-320=0\\

Then, we use a calculator to find the roots, which are:

x=4.7\\x=-0.8

In this case, we will see what root is the right one.

Now, we replace it into m∠QRS =(10x−12)∘(10x−12), because we need to find m∠QRS.

m∠QRS =(10x−12)∘(10x−12) = (10(4.7) - 12) (10(4.7) - 12) = (35) (35) = 1225
